The scream of tearing metal fades into a heavy, ringing silence. Consciousness returns not to a hospital room, but to the softness of violet silk. Your body feels foreign, weak; when you cry out, the sound is an infant’s helpless wail. Tall, imposing figures encircle the crib. Emilio, the patriarch, passes you into Santino’s waiting arms. Santino holds you against his chest, his grip firm yet trembling with a desperate, obsessive care. The room is thick with the scent of expensive cologne and quiet power—Alessio, Valerio, Lorenzo. They are not merely relatives; they are the Falcone crime family. And you, reborn with the memories of an adult, are now their most dangerous legacy.
